Reception

Welcome to EYFS!

We have a dedicated, passionate and hard working team of professionals working in the Foundation Stage. The Team has proven success through parents comments and successful cohorts over many years. The team is fully committed to giving your child the very best start to their time at Rackham. There are two reception classes in the Foundation stage at Rackham.

The Teachers are:

Mrs Boyden, Miss Oliver and Mrs Hailstone

The Teaching Assistants are:

Mrs Clifford and Mrs Gosling

One-to-one Support Assistants are:

Mrs Pooley, Miss Lockwood and Mrs Westrup

We believe in the magic of learning and the balance between teacher planned activities as well as child initiated learning.

We work hard to ensure all members of staff have the highest expectations about what children can achieve and make effective use of children's assessments, so we can plan precise activities that meet children's next steps in learning. We provide many opportunities for children to learn effectively in the well- resourced indoor and outdoor classrooms.

P.E lessons are on Tuesday mornings for Ash class and Thursday afternoon for Rowan class.
